A girls weekend

Dewdrop had a sleepover with us this weekend. And while she was here, she wanted to help me in the kitchen with everything I did.

I learned with Sugarwings, that few things entertain a baby longer than playing with water. A bucket and a plastic fish, a sink full of bubbles, or a sponge and a bowl, all were endlessly entertaining to her. Looks like her little sis feels the same way.

The only difference is, now I have wooden floors instead of tile. Which changes my carefree attitude about sloshing around.

We still enjoy splishing and splashing, but I have to be a bit more vigilant about where the puddles end up. Dewdrop was surrounded by a pile of towels today while washing dishes for me. It didn't interfere with her fun, but it saved some sogginess for my flooring.

Both girls came to spend the day, and I can't imagine a better way to spend a Sunday.

I did manage some time to work on a painting, but its not something I can show you, till the person who commissioned it shows it herself. I hate having something new and not posting it! That's not like me. I write my posts the way I talk to my friends, the minute something crosses my mind, I say it, usually without filters. Not showing something is a lesson in self control that I could probably use...

I've also started a couple more fairy paintings, I'm on a painting kick right now. I've got some more vintagey ideas for the Faerie Book Swap cover.
